Anthony Lee, a partner at Altos, invested in one of my companies and has been an advisor to me for another. Unlike a lot of VCs that over-structure deals solely to maximize their upside and eliminate their downside, Altos terms tend to be much more founder friendly. They seem to try to create a win-win situation where all interests are aligned. Anthony was also extremely careful not to overstep his role as an advisor. Where a lot of VCs can be arrogant and overbearing, he provides great advice but doesn't dictate. I've dealt with a lot of VCs and Altos is one of the select few that I'd work with again.
